On the path towards a knowledge-based society, organisations – firms, public
institutions, non-governmental organisations – increasingly face the challenge
to mobilise knowledge resources for creating value in a sustainable manner.
The transformation towards a digitized economy and society deeply changes
how we manage information and knowledge, how we connect, collaborate,
learn and decide within and across organizations. While digitalization offers
new opportunities for disruptive renewal; knowledge workers, managers and
organizations will have to recreate their governance, leadership, innovation,
knowledge and learning processes and practices as well as their work organization. New business models and digitally enabled co-creation emerge, requiring
new ways of managing knowledge.
This book aims at providing an overview of the fields of knowledge-based management as well as offering guidance for the implementation of knowledge
management.
As the fruit of more than twenty years of research and consultancy projects
carried out by both authors, this is the first textbook to bring together perspectives and practices on knowledge-based value creation from all continents.
